Strange vaginal pains during pregnancy, has anyone experienced the same and/or know the cause?

Share

This may be a really weird question.. I'm 15 weeks pregnant and I've already been experiencing round ligament pain and sometimes (but not too often) I get this crazy pain down below! haha Well its sorta around the clitoral/labial area.. Its like a pinching and sometimes it almost feels electrically charged. It comes on suddenly then goes away shortly after.. Now I see that no one has mentioned it on here and I keep searching over the web but I'm finding no answers.. I sorta feel like an alien! haha please tell me I'm not crazy or alone in this odd symptom!

From time to time I'm getting weird sharp & shooting pains in my vaginal area too, and I've even felt in in my rectal area. Very weird and I'm glad to learn I'm not the only one experiencing this. I'm in my 16th week.

I am also feeling these strange pains and I'm only 9 weeks along. No bleeding or anything else. May be our bodies adjusting to the fast paced growing of our uterus. It's on my list of questions I have for my gyno next week. This is my second pregnancy and I don't recall feeling this with my first. Everyone else seems to be further along than I am that's experiencing this.

You are not crazy! I have it too and I spoke with one of my friends who is pregnant and she said thatit had something to do with the extra blood flow. That our vaginias get enlarged because of the blood flow so it is not uncommon to have strange feelings down theree. If you are really concerned ask your doctor.

I am having the same pains. I actually am going to ask the doc about them today and see what it is linked to. I get them after sex, when I go from sitting/lying down to standing up, and lately with just walking. I think it has something to do with my baby dropping into the pelvic area and the blood flow. You are not alone. I am 34 weeks along though and am hoping that the previous answer is correct about the blood flow.

I have experienced the throbbing pain in the vaginal and even down my legs and in my back when I have to use the restroom badly. Sometimes that's the only way I know I need to pee. It's mostly at night and has happened all the way through my pregnancy I'm starting week 29, but during the day and sometimes even at night I've been getting muscle type pain/throbbing in all those areas, it's starts in the vaginal area and spreads, it's burning and tingling from vagina through my back and then down my legs...It makes my hips hurt horribly. My guess is my baby is sitting low but man it's uncomfortable.

I'm 15 weeks today and have been having this same pain off and on as well. I'm relieved to hear others have had the same experience. This is my first pregnancy and I never know what is normal. I'm going to check with my doc in two weeks at my check up but I'm glad to hear it's probably nothing.

my pain feels more like something is tearing and i am 25 weeks and i feel vaginal pressure down there a lot walking sitting and even laying down hurts me down there my doctor says that my baby is big and that it is sitting rather low early from time to time my pelvic bone pops and my husband says that sounds really nasty because you can hear it pop when i move around or roll from side to side at night or even when i am walking does anyone know what i can do for some type of relief because my doctor had no suggestions other than me trying to rest more

I have the same pains and I'm having them as I am typing. The pain is not so bad when I am sitting but as soon as I stand up its the most horrible thing I have ever felt. I'm 15 weeks and it started when I was about 6 weeks along. Does anyone know why this is happening?
